Mobile Dev and publisher TOAST had announced that Mobile offering people the opportunity to sign up to participate in the closed beta for Guardian Stone. The game itself is an adventure RPG where players assume a role as one of the classic dungeon-crawling heroes (Warrior, Ranger, or Sorceress) who is accompanied by warrior spirits called Guardians, all in search of the mysterious Guardian Stones.
Hyper Rift is a new “game” that has been released on Android in the last few days. It’s an interactive story, think “Choose your own adventure”, so players have some say in how the story progresses. And in the fashion of those classic books, there are over a dozen different endings.
Chain Chronicles, produced by Sega and Gumi, have released to new content for Chain Chronicles. This game is a hybrid Tower Defense/RPG, where players assume the role of a captain in the army defending the continent of Yggdra from the evil, invading Black Army.
Released by Aspyr Media, Inc for Android (and originally developed by BioWare and released by LucasArts), Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is a role playing game that’s been around for over a decade. Back around Christmas, when I saw it was released on Android, I was pretty stoked to grab it up and jump in. Let’s see how things went for me.
WWE Immortals is a new game from Warner Brothers. Created by NetherRealm Studios, the makers of Injustice: Gods Among Us and Mortal Kombat, Immortals is a fighting game that uses touch-base controls and features 3 on 3 combat both online and offline.
Bit Bit Love, a game just released by 82 Storks and Blue Pill, is a newly released puzzle game, but also includes a story. In BBL, digital bits of information travel along in their digital world, but are more than simply a one or zero.
Wadget Eye Games specializes in point-and-click mystery games that are designed with a retro look that’s heavily pixelated, great (albeit short) story telling, and live voice acting. I’ve played a few of their games, like the Blackwell legacy and The Shivah, so I was familiar with their style of gameplay. Happily, I found Gemini Rue to be the best one of theirs yet, that I’ve played.
Exiles: Far Colony is the latest game from Crescent Moon games, also made games that you might have played like Neon Shadow, Mines of Mars, and the Ravensword. Like Ravensword before it, Exiles is an open world Action/RPG, only its the SciFi counterpart to Ravensword’s fantasy theme. While the undertaking is ambitious and full of potential, the game falls short of what appears to be Crescent Moon’s intent.
Space shooters seem to be a dying (dead?) breed these days. I have fond memories of Tie Fighter, Privateer, Decent, and others. I’m aware of the complaints against them, chief among them is that they’re bland and monotonous to look at when the setting is in outer space, which may have lead to the genre’s decline. Star Horizon manages to address that, and moreover is simply a fun game to play.
